Order of Malta Ireland - Ambulance Corps - Ballina

Founded in 1941, Order of Malta Ireland- Ambulance Corps- Ballina are a voluntary organisation providing First Aid and Ambulance cover to the Community.

The Order of Malta Ballina Unit has been serving the Community for 80 years. The Order of Malta is a voluntary ambulance and first aid organization. We provide first aid training, ambulance cover at events, patient transports to and from hospital, community and nursing services. The Ballina unit is dived into two sections. Cadets: aged from 10 – 16 years old. Ambulance Corps: or senior members who range in age from 16 – 60+. Both these groups are extremely active all year round. Our Cadets meet on Friday's from 7- 8:30pm where they learn first aid, communications, basic nursing skills and fun & games. They also attend events within the region and nationally throughout the year. Locally you will see the unit providing Emergency Ambulance and First Aid cover at local Football, Rugby, Boxing, Corporate events and many more, We also do Community Care duties which we call CARE (Care and Respect for the Elderly) where we bring guests from the locality to 11am mass in St Muredachs Cathedral each Sunday. The unit is also very active within the region helping out our neighboring units with training and or personnel to help with duties.

We are super proud of these young people – not only are they a credit to themselves, but also to their families and our wider community. 💙

Well done to each and every one of them! The hard work and effort they’ve put in really shows, and at the end of the day it’s taking part and stepping up that counts the most. 👏

Ballina Unit attends the Annual Order of Malta Pilgrimage – Mass at Knock Basilica

Coming together in Knock Basilica for our pilgrimage Mass was a very special moment for us as an organisation. The setting gave us a chance to pause, reflect, and share in the sense of unity that being on pilgrimage brings.

The celebration reminded us of the values at the heart of the Order of Malta – supporting one another, caring for those in need, and building friendships through service. It was also a time to think of those who could not be with us and to carry them in spirit as part of our community.

Being together in Knock strengthened our bonds and renewed our commitment to continue our work with kindness, dedication, and compassion. It was an uplifting experience that we will carry with us beyond the pilgrimage.

🚑✨ As part of our annual pilgrimage to Knock Shrine today, our vehicles were blessed.

This blessing is a cherished tradition, giving us the chance to come together as a community of volunteers, friends, and supporters. It’s a moment to reflect on the year gone by, and to look ahead with renewed strength, knowing that our vehicles, our work, and all those we care for are held in prayer.

We’re grateful for the ongoing support of our community and for the opportunity to share this special occasion with you all. 💙🙏
